Michael Pollock of NOAA fisheries wrote me yesterday that they are looking for a beaver photo to run with his new fish & beavers article in the new Bioscience journal. Might I have a high res one they could use?
I politely invited him to look through my entire computer and try and find anything ELSE. I have photos of beavers chewing, beavers damming, beavers mudding, beavers nuzzling, beavers wrestling. He wondered if we have any that are more zoomed out and less close. Ha Ha Ha. I said this is MARTINEZ remember? We can’t get very far away from our beavers! This morning the editors wrote that they love the photos but need one taking on the vertical for the cover.
Vertical? I can assure you that after looking through roughly 5000 photos we have about 5 vertical shots. Who takes vertical beaver photos? (The same folks who take horizontal giraffe photos, that’s who.) I found lots that might be croppable and we found these:
We’ll see if that’s good enough. And in the meantime remember to hold your cameras vertically, and wish us luck!
